Hooker, J. D.

Darwin-Hooker Letters

Reports on the 1870 BAAS meeting at Liverpool. Huxley's address was over the heads of the laymen. Tyndall's was eloquent to listen to, disappointing to read. George Rolleston's "Rococo" address [Nature 2 (1870): 423–7, 442–6]. Murchison. Lyell. Has done an immense lot of work. Regrets Darwin has not kept the simple title "Origin of man" [for Descent].
